Deprecate phone.number format parameter

[ST-DDT]

Clear and concise description of the problem

The format can be used to overwrite the pattern that is used to generate the phone number.
Instead of passing it to phone.number the user should pass it directly to helpers.replaceSymbolWithNumber and build their own phone number method. Alternatively, they can add the format to our repository and thus provide it for everyone.

Suggested solution

Deprecate the format parameter for removal.

Alternative

• Add phone.number generation options #1542

In yesterdays meeting we completely skipped over the potential alternative you provided.
After having a look at that, I think it's a good proposal.

I just want to make clear, that I (we?) don't want the format parameter in it's current form as a custom template. Having a a format parameter which is a string union as proposed in #1542 seems fine to me.
